Week 9 and looking fine! The other baby still has a bit to go, but this one is lookin pretty ripe. I will be back with more on the other child soon.

I used:
-FF ocean forrest soil
- 3 Gal pots straight from 16 oz solo cups (only one transplant)

VEGGIN'- Fox farm's- grow big, worm castings, liquid seaweed, banana mana (banana extract nute for veg), Pearlite, vermiculite, high nitrogen Peruvian seabird guano 10-10-2 , and Hard water (h20 we set out for days prior to use)

FLOWERIN'- Fox Farm's tiger bloom, big bloom, Cont w/ some liquid seaweed, Molasses, High Phos Jamaican bat guano 1-10-0.2, and hard water

++ A few things I have that I did not end up using: Epsom salt, liquid lime, Happy Frog fruit and flower fert 5-8-4, organic Blood meal 12-0-0 & Bone meal 6-9-0, Algamin Kelp meal, Terrycycle liquid plant food.

Temps- range from 72-80, stays closer to 75/77 mostly.
Humidity- ranges from 20-24%, usually stays at 21/22%
Drops accordingly during dark periods and humidity rises slightly.

Using 23-26w cfls and 2-42w cfls soft white (all 2700k), I know its alot but they are evenly distributed around plant at all levels. The larger two, one over each plant. Not super amazing light penetration, but they grew just shy of 4ft doing this. While veggin' I only had 8-26w bright whites (5000k) So in flowering we got a couple more.

I Vegged for 2 months using 24/0 and got some mad bushes. Since then they grew tall yet bushy.


The beauty is that most of this was free so not a strain on the pockets, and why pay to upgrade when it cost nothing.

We have been using only water and molasses for watering/feedings for the last few weeks, just started really flushing a bit ago.

Sorry for the poor picture quality, the nugos are really frosty in real life. And a few shots the flash was on so it made them look rather whitish. The pics are kinda decieving, There are almost no white hairs, all amber or deep orange/brown.

Pretty much all the pistil/hairs are amber, got a 60-100x microscope and very few crystal clear heads, tons of cloudy trichs, and some amber starting to pop up.

The hairs have also started to recede back into the bud almost all over.

When I do chop and manicure, do I leave the smaller sugar/frosty coated leafs on and trim the rest (of course I am trimming fan leaves and anything with a stem, I mean the smaller leaves grown into the bud that protrude slightly) or do I trim real close to the bud and save the frosty trim for hash?

What you guys think?

Thanks Riu!

very nice my friend.....the only way to know for sure is checking those tri's daily and chop them down right before your light is bout to turn on peak resin production occurs at night....some people just trim big fan leaves and trim small stuff after drying, i trim everyting before but make seperate piles save ur sugary small growth for some ediables should have plenty for decent batch after those two....

They look real good!!

It depends on what kind of buzzzzzz you want. The more amber trichs the more of a couch lock and if they came down now you'll probably have a good split between head and body!

Enjoy!!!
